Iran-U.S. Escalation in Strait of Hormuz | Dubai News

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claims it struck a U.S. military base in Jordan and hit ten ships in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating regional tensions after the U.S. destroyed five Iranian oil tankers in retaliation for missile attacks. While Iran insists the strikes caused major damage, Jordanian defenses intercepted most missiles with no casualties, and U.S. officials called the Iranian attacks ineffective.
